"Ahem—"

Liu Xi on the side heard Chen Changfeng's shameless answer, and he didn't hold back for a while.

"Grandpa Liu, what do you mean?" Chen Changfeng is not happy, what is Liu Xi, this old guy doing, laughing at himself?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, the old slave is infected with a cold today, so he coughs." Liu Xi hurriedly explained.

Chen Changfeng glanced at Liu Xi, and did not pursue this old guy.

The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng, and he didn't understand why Tang Mingren would agree to Chen Changfeng to take over the post of servant of the ministry.

But since Tang Mingren agreed, of course his previous promise will be fulfilled.

"In this case, I will issue an order later, and let Tang Mingren serve as the servant of the ministry."

"Boy, this is the end of the matter, you will not cause me more trouble in the future, go back." After the emperor said that, he waved his hand to let Chen Changfeng leave.

Chen Changfeng didn't stay long, he still had things to do, and he didn't have time to waste here.

"Your Majesty, how could Tang Mingren agree to the crown prince and serve as a servant of the ministry?" Liu Xi asked in a low voice.

How ugly it was at the beginning.

Tang Mingren came back to the court at this time, wasn't he afraid of being ridiculed?

"People are profit-seeking, although I don't know exactly what happened, but compared to being laughed at by the court officials, Tang Mingren still decided to serve as a servant of the ministry, there must be a reason."

"You have someone find out what's going on." The Emperor waved his hand.

……

"Second brother, you still have the foresight, let me warn that Tang Mingren in advance, the news came just now, and the sixth child really went to the Tang Mansion."

"Hehe, he hasn't been there once since he got married, and this time he suddenly passed, he must have wanted Tang Mingren to be this servant." On the second prince's mansion, the third prince looked at the second prince in front of him with a smile.

The position of the servant who belonged to his second prince was vacant, and the second prince was of course unwilling to let Chen Changfeng take it.

The second prince knows better that as long as time passes, the candidate for the servant of the ministry has not been decided.

When the time comes, he and the third prince let the officials under him play, even if it is the emperor, he can't continue to drag it on.

And Chen Changfeng has no one around him who can use it at all.

Only the crown princess's father, Tang Mingren.

Although Tang Mingren had sworn before that he would never step into the Ming Dynasty again in his life, no one would believe this.

The second prince needs to completely cut off Chen Changfeng's last way.

Knowing that the Tang Mansion provided Bing Jing for the Ming Dynasty, the second prince came up with a way to let the third prince send someone to threaten Tang Mingren.

The third prince is the secretary of the military department, and he used a little means to let the border army clean up the Tang Mansion merchant car, isn't that a simple matter?

"This matter is thanks to the third brother, otherwise the second brother really can't do anything about the sixth brother." The second prince smiled.

The second prince believed that with the threat of the third prince, he would not dare to help Chen Changfeng with a hundred dares from Tang Mingren.

Otherwise, the Tang Mansion will wait for the family to be ruined!

"Where the second brother said, our goals are the same, and helping the second brother is equivalent to helping myself." The third prince was also smiling.

Although it was not directly aimed at Chen Changfeng this time, it was enough to make Chen Changfeng's hand not reach into the ministry.

"By the way, second brother, my secret news from the front line yesterday said that the Great Chu Empire's southern army did not return the thirteen cities of my southern county."

"Li Fengxian, the commander of the Great Chu Empire's southern army, killed the envoy sent by Liu Shuwen, and threatened to let the sixth man go to him to ask for it."

"I estimate that the news will reach my father's ears in the next two days, and I'm afraid that Da Ming is going to start a war with Da Chu." The expression of the third prince suddenly became solemn.

The third prince is the god of war in the Ming army, and he is also the secretary of the military department, so of course he will receive the news from the front line as soon as possible.

"War with the Great Chu Empire?" The second prince's face instantly froze.

He didn't feel that it was a good thing to go to war with the Great Chu Empire.

For the Ming Empire, recuperation is the most important thing.

The strength of the Ming Empire is weak, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the Great Chu Empire.

But the Great Chu Empire reneged on its promise and refused to return the thirteen cities of Daming South County, and the emperor would definitely not agree.

This battle will really be fought!

"Second brother thinks this battle should be fought?" The third prince looked at the second prince.

After the second prince was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Of course you shouldn't fight." ”

"My Ming military strength is not comparable to Da Chu at all, if you really want to fight, you will definitely not be an opponent."

This is not entirely the reason why the second prince does not support this battle with Da Chu.

Because once there is a war with Da Chu, under the war, the three princes will definitely rise.

His second prince has been deprived of the position of the head of the household by Chen Changfeng, and he has lost the servant of the ministry.

If the Three Princes rise, even if Chen Changfeng is gone in the future, where will he still be the opponent of the Three Princes?

Didn't everything he did make a wedding dress for the three princes?

The third prince looked at the second prince, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Although he is a military general, he is not a fool, where would he not know what the second prince really thinks?

In the war, only the three princes can make meritorious contributions and accumulate prestige.

The second prince wants him to be idle like this, where is there such a good thing?

"The second brother is right, I will definitely support the second brother's proposition when the time comes."

"I'll go back first." The third prince said goodbye and left with the second prince.

The second prince's face was slightly gloomy, of course he wouldn't believe the words of the third prince.

Who can come this far, which one is not a human spirit.

……

As soon as the third prince returned to his house, he saw an official from the military department standing at the door waiting for him.

Seeing that he was back, the military officials came over with anxious faces.

"Your Highness, something is wrong!" The military officer said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" The third prince's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't want to hear any bad news.

"Didn't His Highness ask the lower official to go to the household department to ask for the military expenses of the border army, the lower official went, but the lower official met the prince there."

"The prince said that the matter of the border army's military expenses will have to wait for his approval, and after the prince's approval, he will hand it over to the prime minister for inspection, and then give it to His Majesty to seal, and then send it back to the prime minister, after the prime minister seals, he can wait for the prince to seal it, and finally get the border army's military expenses." The officers of the military department were full of anger.

Isn't that exactly?

Originally, the Hubu Shangshu agreed directly, and it was enough to submit it to the emperor for approval, and the military expenses could be obtained within three days.

If you go back and forth like this, it is estimated that it will take a month, and you may not be able to get it.

The third prince's eyes were cold, he had never heard of such a rule in the household department.

In an instant, he thought that this was Chen Changfeng deliberately embarrassing himself.

Nine out of nine is that Chen Changfeng knew that he had sent someone to threaten Tang Mingren, and then threatened himself in this way.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" The military department official said.

"What should I do?" The third prince sneered: "Send a message to the Ming Zhao Border Military Office, all the commercial vehicles of the Tang Mansion are not allowed to pass, His Royal Highness wants to see if His Royal Highness is tough, or if he Tang Mansion can insist." ”

The third prince believed that the delay in the military expenses of the border army was Chen Changfeng's attempt to force himself to release the Tang Mansion merchant car by such means.

But the third prince will not compromise like this.

After waiting for a month, it will completely enter the winter, and the ice of Zhao State will not be able to transport to the Ming Dynasty, and the ice storage of the Tang Mansion will not be able to store ice at all.

As soon as summer arrives, the Tang Mansion is waiting to be slaughtered by the emperor's decree!

"Where's the military spending over there?" The military officials looked worried.

"Military spending?"

"When the time comes, there will be a time for his sixth child to beg me." The third prince looked disdainful.
